Top Picks: Winter Boots

1. Black snake panel block heel ankle boots, £38, River Island| 2. Black platform Chelsea boots, £40, River Island| 3. Burgundy contrast split side Chelsea shoe boots, £24.99, New Look| 4. Chunky cut out boots, £29.99, New Look| 5. Apollo gold heel boot, £34.99, Ark| 6. Garnet super Chelsea boot, £34.99, Ark| 7. HARLEY double zip ankle boots, £75, Topshop| 8. New Look Wide Fit Aggro heeled ankle boots, £29.99, ASOS| 9. River Island chunky wood stack heeled ankle boots, £85, ASOS.
 
The reason behind this post is simply because I had an absolute nightmare last week trying to find some decent winter boots to buy! Is it just me, or is it whenever you aren't looking to buy anything, you see everything that you like, a couple weeks later when you actually come to buy something you can't get hold of anything you want! With the sudden change in weather I think it is high time I put my open toe platforms back into the wardrobe ready for next summer and wack out the winter boots.. oh wait my boots from last winter are a disgraceful mess.
 
So, when it came to looking for some new ones, I literally just thought to myself, there is no way I am even going to bother looking in Topshop because the shoes are waaaaaay out of my price range, like seriously, £75 for boots? Nuh uh. In the end I managed to pick up some lovely snake skin chunky boots with a side zip  from River Island for under £40! (Number 1 on my list). My friend (bad shopping influence and avid destroyer of my bank balance) also picked up some new winter boots, (number 2), some gorgeous platform Chelsea boots, honestly this style of boots are everywhere right now and are set to be so popular this season so grab a pair while you can! Unfortunately I can't as it would be wrong to buy a similar pair of boots as your friend, wouldn't it?...
 
I really do hope that if like me, you have been struggling to find some boots for the new season, that this list might help you out a little bit, or at least point you in the right direction! Honestly I think the places which have the best collections at the moment are New Look, River Island, Topshop and Ark so go have a look!
 
Have you bagged your new winter boots yet? What have you been looking for and have struggled to find on the high street recently? Let me know! :)

Weekly Wants....

Just another want want want post! This week the weather has just been so beautiful (still a bit chilly) but the sun has been out and it has really put me in the mood for spring/summer, as we all know, new season = new wardrobe so who isn't excited?! Just kidding I can't afford it. BUT, most of these pieces below are quite inexpensive and super ready for spring. One of my weekly wants is a tattoo choker necklace, I absolutely love these right now, they come in so many different colours and you can also get a simple or more fancy one, personally I like the simple plastic choker below, this one is from Topshop but I have also found lots online on ebay for as little as 99p! I also have a couple of nail art items, I absolutely love this 'sticky fingers' kit from models own, the kit comes in different colours and stickers but I have decided to order the lilac as the flower stickers are just so cute and summery! In my weekly wants post I also really really really want this fly charm necklace from Topshop (you can tell I am never out of that store) they always have such great jewellery for all different price ranges, this one is only £6.50 and it would be a perfect necklace to use for layering! Finally I also really love the new horoscope rings that Topshop have recently started selling, they come in all different sizes and colours which are unique to your zodiac sign, mine are for Cancer (July). What is currently on your wish list?
